View of the M.B. Arnstein & Co. Department Store on the corner of Market Street and Union Avenue in downtown Knoxville. Max B. Arnstein (1858-1961) opened the store in 1905, and it was considered one of the South's better stores until it closed in 1928. The TVA later used the building as office space.

Greek immigrants George and Frank Regas started the Regas Brothers Cafe (originally known as the Astor Cafe) on Gay Street in 1919.

Richard "Uncle Dick" Payne (1813-1885) sold water to Knoxvillians from his two-wheeled cart from 1845 until his death in 1885. He was an extremely popular merchant and is generally recognized as Knoxville's first "water works." Payne Street (in the Reservoir Hill area) is named in his honor.

Although Knoxville's streetcar system was established in 1876, electric streetcars did not arrive until 1890 when W.C. McAdoo Jr. consolidated the existing streetcar lines into the Knoxville Electric Streetcar Company. McAdoo electrified four lines in all: the Lake Ottosee Line, the Park Avenue Line, the Washington Avenue Line, and the Broadway Line. The streetcar in this image was the first to run on the electrified lines.

This train, which came from Louisville, Kentucky on the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Railroad, was the first through train to arrive in Knoxville. The ETV&G was formed when the East Tennessee & Georgia Railroad merged with the East Tennessee & Virginia Railroad in 1869. The new railroad expanded significantly before merging with the Richmond and Danville Railroad to form the Southern Railway in 1895.
